If you want to chat about it, they want to hear from you. The eight annually elected student executive members (usually known as ‘the Exec’) are always working to make your experience the best it can be, campaigning for improvements on your behalf such as longer library opening hours at exam time, a night bus service and the launch of a safe zone in DUSA for secure relaxation on nights out.

Student experience is at the heart of all decisions made at Dundee and we’re proud of the very strong partnership between students and the University. We have student representation at all levels, including on the University management group, the University governing body, and even on the committees that appoint senior members of staff. You’re the boss at Dundee.

Of course, like all good students’ unions, there’s more to DUSA than just support. You’ll also find a great night out on DUSA’s five floors. Mono is the nightclub at the heart of DUSA. It has a capacity of well over 1,000 and knows how to fill it with legendary club nights like the massive Halloween and St Patrick’s Day parties.

They also boast three eating places right at the heart of campus. The Liar offers comfy seats and plasma screens, the Pavement Cafe serves coffee and lunch with gorgeous views towards the and Food on Four is the perfect place to pick up a quick burger or hot dog.

Dundee has plenty of shops to keep you stocked up on the essentials (and not-so-essentials) in life.

The Overgate and Wellgate are our two big shopping centres with many big-name shops such as Debenhams, Topshop, H&M, Next, Boots and Primark.

We aren’t short of small, quirky independent retailers either. Groucho’s Record Store is a Dundee institution, buy your music, vinyl and event tickets here. Heartspace Wholefoods, linked with Heart Space

The Evening Standard on why Dundee is the perfect place for a city break

28 29 of the week of Every night Dundee University Students’ Association Going out Nando’s on the Nethergate Students’ Association Dundee University The George Orwell, Perth Road Going out

The University itself is found in the buzzing West End of Dundee where our students enjoy quirky bars, contemporary restaurants, cool cafés and independent shops. Here you’ll also find the major cultural centres of and the Dundee Rep Theatre.

Dundee has lots of options for eating out. For a casual Project Pizza, Reform Street meal with friends, Five Guys and Nando’s will sort you out. At the fancier end of things, Castlehill is a star in the city’s restaurant scene with a Michelin star chef at the helm. The D’Arcy Thompson is a restaurant right next door to the campus and the stylish interior is inspired by the work of The University of Dundee’s pioneering biology professor D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson. Laid-back cafés such as Avery & Co are also just a few steps away from the campus. If international food is more your thing, Dundee has plenty of options. As well as top Indian, Italian and Chinese food, we have two sushi restaurants right next to campus, entertaining teppanyaki at Kobee, delicious Mexican street food from Wee Mexico, and dim sum to die for from the Manchurian.

“I love all the live music venues that there are in Dundee. Every single night of the week there will be an open mic night somewhere, and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday you’ll have a different band playing at a different venue around the city. That variety right on your doorstep is amazing.”

Jack Crozier BSc Forensic Anthropology graduate

Out and about

Dundee is on the doorstep of some of the most beautiful countryside in the world. The area around the city takes in coast, glen, hill and farmland.

The beautiful Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve is found on the banks of the Tay just to the South of Dundee and has a beautiful forest and beach. Look for dolphins in the river, seal pups hauled out on the sand, red squirrels in the trees and majestic sea eagles in the skies. Why not join some of our outdoorsy clubs and societies such as the sailing, canoeing, cycling, rucksack or skiing clubs? Get fit, make friends and take in the beautiful Scottish countryside all at the same time.

The best of Scotland is easily accessible from Dundee by train, bus, car and even bicycle. You can take part in watersports on the Tay in the morning, climb a ‘Munro’ (the 300-plus Scottish mountains higher than 3000 feet) in the afternoon and still have time to return to campus for a great night out at DUSA!

It’s easy to stay connected. London is only 90 minutes away through a direct air link. International airports at Glasgow and are within a 90-minute drive. The train station, part of the main UK east coast line, is a ten-minute walk from the University’s city campus.

“It is one of those places that will forever be in your memories.” Mandar took a road trip around the beautiful Isle of Skye with his friends. Take a look at his photo journal on our student blog uod.ac.uk/skye-driving

Excellent teaching at any university is built on a foundation of outstanding research. Research at Dundee has been ranked among the very best in the UK in the latest Research Excellence Framework (2014). In fact, over 30% of our funding comes from research and this translates into world-changing solutions for health, the environment and the economy.

The University is transforming lives locally and globally with our award-winning research. The impact of this is felt over so many areas, from new drugs to treat diabetes and cancer, innovative space technology solutions and even slower melting ice cream thanks to a new ingredient invented right here in Dundee.

This toolkit included a set of devices designed to improve the efficiency of crime scene investigations. The team came together from all over the University and included students from life sciences, physics and mathematics - how’s that for teamwork?

“Some truly amazing research is being carried out at the University. The fact that it influenced the teaching I received was a huge positive.”
